“At this time I am opening up my recruitment due to the current events with the Arizona basketball team. I would like to thank all the coaches for recruiting me. At the time my family and I think it’s in my best interests to look at other options to assure my play in the NCAA next year,” O’Neal wrote on Twitter.

O’Neal also thanked Miller and the other Wildcats assistants for recruiting him.

Arizona’s loss became UCLA’s gain. The 6-foot-9 O’Neal is a five-star recruit according to Rivals.com and is ranked as the No. 28 overall prospect in the 2018 class.

A long and lean athlete, O’Neal is a bouncy athlete around the rim who can also step away from the rim and make jump shots to the three point line. His motor has been criticized at times but the skill and athleticism to play at a high level are all in place.
